CAPTAIN BEN
Captain Ben grew up in Canada, surrounded by nature, and spent his summers exploring its beautiful lakes, where his passion for boating and adventure first began. Being on the water has always been a big part of his life—whether cruising, wakeboarding, tubing, or simply relaxing in the sun.
Since then, his career has taken him to incredible places around the world. After a full season captaining crewed charters throughout the British and U.S. Virgin Islands, he developed an in-depth knowledge of the area and loves sharing its hidden gems, world-class snorkeling, vibrant beach bars, and breathtaking anchorages with guests.
Beyond the Caribbean, he's captained private charters along the coastlines of Croatia and Sicily while building his offshore experience through yacht deliveries, with passages through the Baltic Sea, the U.K.'s coastal waters, Panama to Guadeloupe, and Jamaica to the Cayman Islands. These experiences have given him broad knowledge and confidence in both coastal cruising and offshore passage making.
Whether guests are after adventure, relaxation, or a mix of both, Ben's goal is to create an unforgettable experience tailored to the group. He takes pride in a fun, welcoming atmosphere where everyone feels at home—great music, plenty of laughs, and a passion for showing guests the very best of the islands, making every charter a trip they'll remember long after stepping ashore.
